1972 School Magazine

Fellowship Night: 18th April was the first of planned fellowship nights at the school. Old Girls were invited to bring along friends and enjoy an informal evening. Slides were shown of early Brisbane. Old Girls who attended voted it a success. It is hoped to plan more of these evenings next year. Fashion Parade: Combined Male and Female fashions were shown on Friday 23rd June in the School Gymnasium. Wine and savouries were served prior to the parade and supper was served afterwards. Old Girls and their friends enjoyed a very successful night, proceeds from which went to the School Centenary Fund. Combined B.G.S-O.B.A. & B.G.G.S.O.G.A. Ball: This year's combined ball was again held at 29 Murray Street on July 14th. The theme was a French Bastille ball which was a tremendous evening. The Ball Committee should be thanked for their work in making the ball such a success. Art Show: An Art Show was held in the School Gymnasium in conjunction with School Day on the l5th, 16th, and 17th September. It was opened with a wine and cheese night by Mr. Alan Edwards, Artistic Director of the Queensland Theatre Com- pany. Proceeds again went to the School Centenary Fund. A variety of crafts included china painting, copper enamelling, screen printing, pottery and leatherwork.

Approximately 20 students from the past year were weltomed by the Committee. A very friendly atmosphere was enjoyed, but it was a shame more past pupils did not attend.

Over 150 Old Girls, some from many miles, attended a very successful dinner, one which I am sure Miss Elliott will never forget.
